The Design

The obverse of Silver Eagles comes from the 1917 Half Dollar coin. Weinman portrayed Lady Liberty walking towards the sun, folded in the American flag, and greeting the new immigrants with oak and laurel branches. The design includes the word “LIBERTY,” the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year of mintage complete the design.

John Mercanti, who portrayed the reverse design, depicted the Heraldic Eagle beneath thirteen stars, representing the original Thirteen Colonies. The Eagle has the American Great Seal on its chest, arrows and olive branches on its talons, and a banner with the inscription “E PLURIBUS UNUM” on its beak. 

It includes the engravings “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR,” referring to face value, weight, metal content, and purity.

Because it is a proof coin, its surfaces exhibit a mirror-like luster, which contrasts with the design’s frosted image.
